One of the really cool things Constantine didn't mention is the entire

Actually shipping is $4.95 on top of the purchase cost, IIRC. But

Who would buy it for that much money when you can download it for

So I was writing an email in which I was discussing a JRE-based piece of
software and a port in the sysutils directory. The spell-checker marks

If you need more RAM, you must run 64bit (amd64),
and make sure that you don't depend on software that
